I believe John is telling the truth, and is as confounded by the door being blocked as the rest of us. Why, he is thinking, if the cops went down there, if Fleet went down there, is this door blocked? Surely if they went into that room it should not have been blocked for his visit! Is he wondering if Fleet blocked it after taking his walk through? Too bad there are no pictures , or are there, of this blocked door? We do know that Fleet admittedly opened the door to the wine cellar, and relatched it. Perhaps Fleet likes to leave things the way HE finds them?
Yes Sissi, I do agree totally with everything you have said here.
From my confounded position I would really like to start with the evidence of an independent witness namely Officer Rick French.
I am just not sure what his evidence is.
I suspect that he must have stated somewhere words to the effect
At 6.05 am I went downstairs to the basement
but has he ever said words to the effect?
I entered the trainroom through a doorway that was blocked by a chair
or?
I entered the trainroom through a doorway that was not blocked in any way
And what has he said about the window?
Has he ever stated that it was open?
Has he ever stated it was closed?
Has he ever stated he even went and looked at the window?
Could someone please post if they can find it, a copy of what Rick French HAS said. Not what an author of a book said he said but an original statement by Rick French. Thanks.
And WHEN were the photographs taken? Not when Lou Smit said they were taken but when the photographers said they were taken.
